Electric vehicles (EVs) have come a long way in recent years, with many models now able to travel well over 200 miles on a single charge. However, the average amount of miles that a fully-charged EV will last depends on a variety of factors, such as the make and model of the vehicle, the driving conditions, and the driver's habits. One of the main factors that affects the range of an EV is the size and capacity of the battery. For example, a compact EV with a small battery will have a shorter range than a larger, luxury EV with a larger battery. Additionally, the type of battery technology used in the vehicle can also affect the range. For example, lithium-ion batteries typically have a longer range than nickel-metal hydride batteries. Another important factor that affects the range of an EV is the driving conditions. For example, driving at high speeds or in hilly terrain will use more energy and reduce the range of the vehicle. Additionally, using the air conditioning or heati ... read more

Brake pads are essential for the operation of your vehicle. One set of brake pads can wear out faster than the other, which can be inconvenient. Brake pads can be pricey, and many people only replace worn-down ones, but it is better to replace them all. Uneven wear on brake pads can be caused by various factors, which we will discuss in this blog. You can help to prevent uneven brake pad wear and extend the life of your new pads by understanding the causes. Here are some of them. Unaligned Wheels Misalignment can occur when the wheels aren't balanced properly. When braking, this causes one wheel to pull to the side, which results in uneven wear. The solution is a wheel alignment service and a fresh set of brake pads. Corroded Slide Pins The part that guides the calipers to the rotors is called a slide pin. Pins must be lubricated so they can move back and forth smoothly and precisely. A corroded guiding mechanism can lead to uneven pressure and wear on the brake ... read more
